Abhishek advocates for an AI-driven, data-centric approach that empowers utilities to better monitor and manage everything from vegetation risks to asset conditions, all before problems arise. “In a rapidly evolving landscape, incorporating advanced AI, employing a satellite-first approach and considering climate variables are critical steps toward building a safer, more reliable and future-ready grid.”

Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and severe, posing significant risks to power grids and critical infrastructure.
